Being that you have a LA you have the option to build just about anything you want, but in your situation where you can't really decide on anything in particular, having to many options, is almost as bad as not having enough.

 :jacked: hey B23 have you used much of the ADG brass? I’ve messed with it a few firings in a 300 win and wasn’t overly impressed. I’ve seen it from a few sources that it’s lapua quality but myself and buddies haven’t noted the same.

Sorry York to derail.  :chuckle:

Dan-o with a 7mm rum would make him look tough while cruising in his pink prius so he gets my vote. :tup:

Wow, no love for the 25 RUM!

Being that you have a LA you have the option to build just about anything you want, but in your situation where you can't really decide on anything in particular, having to many options, is almost as bad as not having enough.

That's one of the biggest issues I have these days. I've done so many dumb projects over the years that it's getting really hard to come up with new ideas.

My threads come pre-derailed so you couldn't possibly do any more damage. :chuckle: Besides, I'm curious about the ADG brass too.

I haven't used any of it, with the exception of my 7mm Blaser, 17 Hornets, and 204 Ruger,  Lapua makes brass for everything I have, but I know Shawn at Defensive Edge has used it a fair amount and he's been pretty happy with it.

It’s definitely better than some brass but I wouldn’t class it with Lapua personally. Weight consistency wasn’t there, had 4 grain spread over the 50 I had. Shot it through 2 firings and had noticeable loosening primer pockets at 50 fps slower than I was getting in Hornady brass. Definitely hefty stuff
I wouldn’t by any means say it’s crap but don’t think it’s on par with Lapua or norma for that matter.  :twocents:

Yorke's .375 BME has it covered when it comes to performance and the ultra mag case. The rest is just fluff and extra cash. Not that there is anything wrong with fluff and extra cash. Better than being jammed up in the mundane 06 and too many magazine articles by Jack O'Conner and his feeble .277 flaw.

Have a Remington 700 in 500 B&M back of the safe..maybe time to dust it off and punch a hole in something again..
But then again, there's the old .270 m70 right next to it..hmmm😜

Whatever happens, you must bow to the will of the people.

I'd say the poll speaks for itself.
